Answer 3

i think to justify the separation and secure support of other nations
The goal of this passage, and indeed the entire Declaration of Independence, was to adequately justify the separation with Great Britain so as to secure the support of other nations in the struggle for independence. In fact, without the aid of France during the American Revolution, colonial victory may not have been possible.
